Downer Framing System
Downer framing systems deliver strength, stability and precision for building envelopes.
Manufactured from high quality cold‑formed steel, Downer systems create a reliable substructure for walls, cladding, rainscreen façades and internal partitions. With a variety of section sizes, gauges and configurations, the system allows designers and installers to achieve accurate alignment and consistent build quality across commercial, industrial and residential projects.
- Complete range of framing sections and configurations
- Suitable for walls, cladding, rainscreens and partitions
- Precision-engineered components for accurate alignment
- High tensile strength and resistance to bending or warping
- Modular system for efficient handling and installation
- Durable solution for long-term structural performance
Downer framing systems provide a steel substructure for building envelope applications.
Downer framing systems provide a steel substructure for building envelope applications, supporting sheathing boards, insulation, fixings and cladding within a complete wall or facade build-up.
Made from cold-formed steel, the system is designed to stay stable under load and keep everything aligned as it’s installed, with a variety of section sizes, gauges and configurations to suit different projects.
Downer Product Range
-
DDowner DCS004 is a ventilated facade framing system designed to provide mechanical secret-fix support for a wide range of rainscreen cladding panels. It forms part of a ventilated facade build-up, enabling concealed fixing methods that support a clean external appearance while maintaining reliable structural performance.
-
Downer DCS031 is a helping hand bracket framing system designed for ventilated rainscreen facades. It combines adjustable aluminium brackets with L and T profiles to support vertical movement, structural variation and changes in cavity depth, allowing the system to be adapted to project-specific requirements. Vertical rails provide direct support for face-fixed or adhesive-fixed cladding panels.
-
Downer DCS021 is a ventilated rainscreen framing system using extruded Omega and Zed aluminium rails fixed back to a continuous structural substrate. It provides vertical support for face-fixed or adhesive-fixed cladding panels, forming a stable subframe within a ventilated facade construction.
-
Downer DCS041 is a vertical aluminium subframe system designed to span between floor slabs in ventilated facade constructions. It uses adjustable wall brackets combined with box and T profiles to support cladding panels, accommodating structural movement and variations in facade build-up while maintaining alignment and stability.
